- On the blog A Small Change, Jason Dick writes about how nonprofit organizations should think of donors as a unified group or “fan base.” Mr. Dick, a college fund raiser in Redmond, Wash., says that knowing certain information, such as areas where donors live, will lead nonprofit organizations to build stronger relationships with contributors through annual appeals and at events.
- On the Foundation Center’s blog, Tamara Lucas Copeland discusses the Greater Washington 2050 Coalition’s report Region Forward. In it, the group suggests using a regional approach to solve social problems. Ms. Lucas Copeland, president of Washington Grantmakers, argues that by following the Region Forward approach, nonprofit organizations could reduce duplication among publicity campaigns and advocacy efforts as well as have the opportunity to reinforce and build on one another’s work.
